Who is the Plain Community?

Our Plain Community subscribers come from Anabaptist groups such as the Amish and Mennonites, who live by Christian values, enjoying a simpler lifestyle than the modern world. With limited access to the internet, they rely heavily on mail publications to purchase products and services for their business and family needs.

Who is Plain Communities Business Exchange?

PCBE was first published in 1993 to inform and connect the Amish and Mennonite business community. The Lapp family in Millersburg, PA has continued this mission since assuming ownership in 2003.

PCBE continues to create a mutually beneficial marketplace. You can buy high-quality goods and services from the Plain Community, renowned for exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. And in turn, PCBE helps outside businesses offer specialized equipment in high demand by the Plain Community. We offer a unique advertising avenue for businesses that want to reach the Plain Community.
